1=pod 2 3=head1 NAME 4 5DSA_generate_key - generate DSA key pair 6 7=head1 SYNOPSIS 8 9 #include <openssl/dsa.h> 10 11The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be 12hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value, 13see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>: 14 15 int DSA_generate_key(DSA *a); 16 17=head1 DESCRIPTION 18 19All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. 20Applications should instead use L<EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(3)> and 21L<EVP_PKEY_keygen(3)> as described in L<EVP_PKEY-DSA(7)>. 22 23DSA_generate_key() expects B<a> to contain DSA parameters. It generates 24a new key pair and stores it in B<a-E<gt>pub_key> and B<a-E<gt>priv_key>. 25 26The random generator must be seeded prior to calling DSA_generate_key(). 27If the automatic seeding or reseeding of the OpenSSL CSPRNG fails due to 28external circumstances (see L<RAND(7)>), the operation will fail. 29 30=head1 RETURN VALUES 31 32DSA_generate_key() returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise. 33The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>. 34 35=head1 SEE ALSO 36 37L<DSA_new(3)>, L<ERR_get_error(3)>, L<RAND_bytes(3)>, 38L<DSA_generate_parameters_ex(3)> 39 40=head1 HISTORY 41 42This function was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0. 43 44=head1 COPYRIGHT 45 46Copyright 2000-2021 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
